Blank Ammo Q&A

What is blank ammunition? 

Blank ammunition is a type of firearm cartridge that contains no bullet. Blanks are essentially firearm casings that are loaded with powder and either crimped or sealed shut with a wax plug or fibrous disk. Most blanks also contain a primer. Firearms loaded with blanks will create a loud bang and visible flash, but will not discharge a projectile.

Is blank ammo dangerous? 

While less dangerous than live ammunition, blank ammo can cause serious injury and even death when improperly used. Firearms loaded with blanks must never be pointed at another person or animal. Blanks can cause permanent hearing damage and the residue from the unburnt gun powder can cause eye injury. Hearing and eye protection are strongly recommended.
